Liberal journalists have distorted reality

Letter writer John Bonn's accusation that former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. and the GOP are out of touch with reality as related to the journalistic elitist left is a pure example of self-delusion ("The GOP lost because it's out of touch," Nov. 28).

If Mr. Bonn's lofty opinion of reality is shaped by today's journalistic credentials then he needs to re-examine the reality of the left's agenda without the arrogance of a card-carrying liberal. Since when do Democrats have the sole pulse of "real world" politics or societal challenges? Why did it take the reporting of Fox News to expose the hypocrisy of Susan Rice and her five Sunday talk show tour of fake and fabricated excuses for the death of four Americans in Benghazi days after their murders? Or, maybe we should believe the journalist likes of Dan Rather who advanced the false National Guard fitness reports of George W. Bush just before the 2004 presidential election.

In Mr. Bonn's view, one cannot gain "real world" objectivity unless one is a Democratic journalist. I think conservative Andrew Breitbart would disagree, having exposed the corruption of ACORN in a 2009 video sting, or Rep. Nancy Pelosi's assertions of racial slurs that never happened at a U.S. Capitol rally in 2010, or the Anthony Weiner sex scandal. But alas, while Mr. Breitbart is dead, his conservative spirit lives on in those of us who know the real truth unlike those who hide behind the shadow of what they think is reality.

Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s cocky and aggressive partisanship make it evident why he couldn't govern effectively in Annapolis and was not re-elected for a second term ("Why Obama is viewed as weak," Nov. 30).

With the exception of President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton is the most recognized American politician of this era. Today, she is far and away the Democratic front runner for president. Many believe she is the odds on favorite to win it all — a view supported by a variety of public...

OK, I can't help myself. Over the past three years, I have written at least a dozen columns critical of Obamacare (a.k.a. The "Affordable Care Act") in this space and devoted an entire chapter to the topic in my book "America: Hope for Change."

Not quite 10 years ago when I moved to Baltimore from a D.C. suburb, I made the decision to switch from The Washington Post to The Baltimore Sun for my daily news read. Ever since, I have had the paper delivered to my home on a daily basis. Even as it has gone down hill in content over that...
